THE Anglican Primate, Henry Ndukuba, has led other 15 Bishops in the country to pray for Nigeria over insecurity in Anambra State.
Also, the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi, called for additional prayers to save the country from collapse.
It was during the 2022 National Convention of the Evangelical Fellowship of Nigeria in the Anglican Communion EFAC, held at the Paul University field in Awka, Anambra State Friday.
Ndukuba, who did not stay long, in his brief remarks, said the programme came at the right time when the country was facing serious security challenges.
He called on the faithful to pray ceaselessly to save Nigeria from the numerous troubles being faced from kidnappings, to killings and other sorts of crimes.
The National Chairman, EFAC National Convention, Most Rev Samuel Ezeofor, said the security challenges had been given people sleepless nights in the country, adding that people were being slaughtered like goats.
For Venerable, David Ezeobi, the EFAC Chaplain, Awka zone and Vicar, St Lawrence Mbaukwu, said they were expecting about 15,000 people from the country, adding that the record showed that about 9,000 attended because of security issues.
He said the aim was to lift the spirit of the Clergy because a lot of crimes like idolatry and other crimes had taken over the space, adding that the men of God needed to move into the society to curb those challenges through prayers.
Obi, who visited the arena, in his not more than two minutes remarks, told the crowd to focus their prayers on how to make Nigeria great again.
